Dust off your MP3, AAC, and WAV archives. No cloud subscriptions, no internet, zero distractions — just peak performance focused entirely on your music.
Pulse isn't a streaming app pretending to play your files. It's a native macOS audio engine, written from scratch for the people who never stopped collecting music.
Pulse scans and digests massive local archives in mere seconds. MP3, M4A, AAC, and WAV files are detected automatically through FSEventsrunning quietly in the background — no "Refresh Library" button, ever.
No Electron overhead, no foreign web interfaces. Minimal RAM, smooth 60/120 fps scrolling through tens of thousands of tracks, and a clean, system-standard 3-pane layout that feels at home on the Mac.
Hardware media keys, Control Center, Touch Bar Now Playing — all wired through NowPlayingInfoCenter. Light / Dark mode follows the system automatically.
An advanced look-ahead AVQueuePlayer engine delivers continuous playback — zero silent interruptions between tracks. The way albums were meant to be heard.
Powered by an embedded SQLite database with full-text indexing. Find titles, artists, composers, playlists — instantly. Drag-and-drop playlists, manual artwork, M3U import included.
We use your address only to notify you of major updates. Nothing else. No newsletters, no tracking, no third parties.
One email — one DMG file (~14 MB). That's it.
